750 ml bottle from Enniskillen’s cellar, paid for by my sweat! Nose of light, tart, horseblanket, and some wheaty yeast. Cloudy gold with a large white head. Flavor is tart with light corriander, cloves, and citrus and a peppery finish.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, spicy hops, grapefruit, and flowers. The flavor is sweet with notes of matl, caramel, yeast, and straw, leading to a dry, spicy, and bitter finish. The body is thin. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle from Monument in Concord, CA. Bottled 12/22/2008. Pours dark brown with a large, frothy tan head. Smell is dominated by zinosity, but there is underlying roast malt and perhaps chocolate/coffee. Near medium body with mild carbonation. Flavors of dark malt, chocolate and coffee. And in the finish the zin aspect pretty much takes over. Finishes towards astringent; might be oak. Nice stuff.

Picture sent in to be uploaded. Marked as Telegraph Reserve Wheat Ale (red label). Was not expecting it to be sour till I smelled the beer, then investigated on the label. Pours with a large, foamy white head that stays over the murky yellow body. Aroma is tart and earthy, with coriander, candied ginger, light banana esters and orange peel. Taste is lightly sour and earthy with spices, fennel, tartness, coriander, citrus sour, and orange peel. Lively and dry mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pale yellow beer with a nice white head. Tart, oaky, apple aroma with wheat backing. Tart (somewhat lactic) flavor with lemon and green apple and wheat/malt backing. Medium bodied. Lactic tartness lingers. Well put together and adds more than what many of the just Brett beers do now.
